Description<\/strong>
\nTake a stroll down the Santa Cruz Boardwalk and you’ll be bombarded by the sheer intensity of Americana. Those rollercoasters right along the sea coast? Classic.<\/p>\n


\n<\/a>And the Santa Cruz’s beloved Boardwalk really is a bona fide classic\u2014it’s got National Historic landmark status. Built in 1907, this paradisaical playland is one of California’s oldest surviving amusement parks.<\/p>\n

\"\"

The Boardwalk is also the perfect place to get that “bad food” that’s oh-so good. From deep-fried (Oreos, Twinkies, you name it) to classic (salt-water taffy, hot dog, funnel cake…), it’s all here and all delicious.<\/p>\n
